Setting brightness_pct to the value of a counter

Configuration
1

Hey guys, I’m pretty new to home assistant. Sorry if I’m posting in the wrong section.

Right now I’ve been playing with this automation and would like to be able to adjust the brightness from my remote. I’m storing the brightness value in a counter that I can adjust from a pair of buttons. I’m running into issues setting my brightness percent to read the current value of my counter.

I realize even once this issue is resolved I still have some work to do.

You will need to use a template to get the value of the counter entity.

brightness_pct: "{{ states('counter.br_brightness') | int }}"

Perfect! That worked exactly how I wanted, thanks so much!
